I was pretty hyped to see this having heard it held the title of "so bad it's good" well, parts of it are laughable, like when one of the henchmen snaps the guys neck on the boat. When a scene is devoted to one of Michaels sidekicks giving him the appropriate hat for the upcoming scene.
One thing (among 100's) that really bothered me was, wherever there was a scene at night in the bar, you could hear this high pitched sound, like a house alarm. Perhaps it was an indigenous bird, or an actual faulty alarm in the premises and no one could locate it...who knows.
The elephant in the room is Michael's character. Now I believe he shopped his script around some studios to get funding to have it made. How did no one there, or no one in pre production mention the glaring problem with his character...he has no compelling goal, no goal at all for 90 percent of the film..come on.! How do you miss that? He literally says he's not going to get involved.
The plot is heavily contrived and spoken about how bad the stakes are and never the ominous feeling that those stakes could occur because it's a sort of stepping stone like event where they'd have to get the ring back, then alter the formula then release the formula to reek havoc, so convoluted and instead of feeling the weight of it your mind gets entangled in that mess of what I just said. Flatley, although he looks well for his age is not able to be an action star, which is why there is literally once scene where he fights and one where he """"fights""" in which he hides behind a boat and the make up department put blood on his face, and on his lovely Tom Ford white tuxedo jacket....that bothered me! Lol
Not laugh out loud it's bad, pretty boring, some chuckles, looks okay, awful acting. Eric Roberts isn't too bad in some scenes, looks like he's having fun, so good for him.
Some nice landscape shots.
